Genesis 2:20-25
Modern English Version
20 The man gave names to all the livestock, to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam[a] there was not found a helper suitable for him.
21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept. Then He took one of his ribs and closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man, He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man.
23 Then Adam said,
“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she will be called Woman,
for she was taken out of Man.”
24 Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
25 They were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
